Task Summary 

Create a network disaster recovery plan (portfolio) of no more than 1500 words along with a full  network topology diagram. This portfolio should highlight the competencies you have gained in data  and networking through the completion of Modules 1 – 6.  

Context 

The aim of this assessment is to demonstrate your proficiency in data and networking. In doing so,  you will design a network disaster recovery plan for a company in Australia to demonstrate your  proficiency with network design.  

Task Instructions 

1. Create a network disaster recovery plan (portfolio) along with a full network topology diagram for a company situated in Australia. 

Note: This Company has other branches worldwide and this should be considered when creating the network disaster recovery plan.
